Spring (or summer) is suddenly upon us.
Things are happening quickly.
#1 a cute skinny trillium, t. lancifolium
#2 Corydalis Blackberry Wine - thrives even in midwestern humidity (Yeah!)
#3 My first experiment with a 'rock garden' in humid St Louis. I made about 5 planters with sharp drainage.
Here's my first success this year, a beautiful polygonatum (p. hookerii). It's hard to believe this is a polygonatum, since the flowers are so striking. We'll see how well this experiment does as the heat and humidity accumulate mid-late summer. So far, so good...
#4 is another of my rock garden experiments, a jacobs ladder called polemonium chartaceum. Flowering it's heart out.
